Creating Sacred Space - Building the Cosmic Egg Meditation Chamber

Welcome to Rising Star. We build stone temples and sacred spaces, places of personal power and transformation. In this video we highlight our Cosmic Egg underground meditation chamber.
The chamber is designed to connect you to the heart of the Earth. It allows you to feel safe in a cocoon-like space. The Egg is designed so that when you are inside looking out, the fire pit is a central focal point. The sound of the fire resonates and amplifies inside the egg. When sitting within the Egg, you feel an amazing effect of being “inside” the fire.

As we build our sacred spaces, we pay close attention to the energy of the land. It is imperative that the structure be built properly and in harmony with the physical surroundings. Even more important, the energetic equilibrium is acknowledged and maintained. This is done through deep listening, asking permission from the land and its inhabitants. We work with the stone as an intelligent material – doing so helps to remove blockages and trauma from the land. Once this is done, the natural energy of the earth radiates more freely. The participant feels the stillness from sitting with the earth.

We love doing stonework in the dry-laid method. This is a traditional building system that dates back thousands of years. No mortar or binder is used when placing stone upon stone. The structure relies on gravity, following bonding rules, and the friction that comes from stone-on-stone contact. This method, along with our knowledge and experience, made it the obvious choice for the Cosmic Egg construction.

When inside the chamber, you are surrounded by 18” to 24” thick walls of solid limestone. A structure built of substantial stone encourages a more grounded and peaceful state of mind and is beneficial to those seeking stillness.

As with any build, we bring our combined four decades of experience into play so that our clients get the best of what we have to offer. We engage fully in the project with our imagination, deep listening, presence, and the skill that we have learned and practiced over the years. That, coupled with the enthusiasm, joy, and deep love that we have for the craft, make the building experience transformative for all involved.
